The bokeh doesa nicejob hereof causing the model to pop out of the image.

Composition here is a bit odd, could try cropping so the face is either prominent in the scene or located elsewhere in the frame.

Model's expression is... odd. Normally I say 'well what can you do about that model', but here I se eit's your kid so there's no excuse! ;)

To be honest I'm not sure why this score a 4.9. It's not the most exciting image, but it certainly isn't that bad (and doesn't merit ten 3 votes by any stretch of the imagination).

Good luck!

I think the bokeh works well here even if the background is still a bit heavy on detail.

The flower appears to float on that sea of green. Flower itself could be a bit crisper.

Overall, very nice shot.

This shot scored well and for good reason. Thing I liked best about this was the stunning a mount of detail on the tounge. Very nicely done.

Nebulous connection to the challenge imo. Photo is interesting but could use much more contrast. Also the gator could be in better focus. Overall, not bad.

I really like the flare and the overall lighting is superb. had you gotten the milkweed in crisp focus, this shot would really pop.

This was quite nice and certainly met the challenge. It's score and placing were both well deserved - what more is there to say?

Nice subject for the challenge. Things to consider would be shooting from a lower angle so the cross is surrounded by the sky and both it and the image overall not split in half by the horizon line. Also worth avoiding tilted horizons when possible. Easy enough to rotate the image a bit.

Bokeh of a bouquet

First thing I thought when I looked at this is 'whitebalance is off'. Then I read that you adjusted it, so I'm thinking it might be worth practicing in that regard some more.

Bokeh here is nice and the distant glimmers of additional flowers do enhance the main subject. Just a bit less detail back there would work even better imo.

Good job!

The bokeh here is interesting and is an integral part of the shot. I'm not sure this was the best choice for b/w though, as the whole shot seems to fade into a blur of light gray as you look at it.
